Pippa Davies, chair of HCS Blended Commons shares about the transition to a learning commons!

Where do we stand on the future of privacy? This will be debated in years to come as organizations try to limit their incoming and outgoing data. Unfortunately by 2025 privacy will be a thing of the past?

"The non-profit ReadWorks is committed to solving the nation's reading comprehension crisis by giving teachers the research-proven tools and support they need to improve the academic achievement of their students.

Don’t panic just yet: but in a few years, your fridge could become a target for cybercriminals. As the number of devices in the Internet of Everything grows, so does the likelihood that connecting these devices and networking them together could increase the number and type of attack vectors we will see in the future. And that means we need to think differently about IT security and the levels of protection needed for this new, connected world. Protecting all of IoE interactions is crucial in enabling people and organizations to benefit from these advances.

The IoE builds on the foundation of the Internet of Things, or IoT. By comparison, the IoT refers to the networked connection of physical objects (doesn’t include the “people” and “process” components of IoE). IoT is a single technology transition, while IoE is a superset that includes IoT.

Thus with the above news from Cisco one can be sure that with the increase of devices, internet security will be the next big thing and top investment from Small Business to Large Scale Enterprises? One could deny the need of investing in as simple asSSL certificates to DOS prevention or even large scale hardware andSoftware firewall.

I deem ICT companies will make a big ding investing in specialization of deploying and implementing in Internet Security.

If you have time to listen to this then it makes some interesting points about how libraries need to move with the times. We need to be up to date and struggle to make decisions quickly enough to keep up. We need to be a the front not waiting to see what happens.
